Hi Mum,

John and I are having a wonderful time here in Ireland. Every day
we get up early and go for a long walk in the country. When
we returned we usually had a very big Irish breakfast which
normally consisted of two eggs, three slices of bacon, toast and jam. We
usually ordered a cup of coffee after breakfast: Colombian coffee, of
course.

After breakfast we sometimes went swimming in the river. We

often met children who like to swim there. They were very nice. At night
we nearly always drank a few pints of Guinness in the pub�s bar before
we went to bed. We always slept well after that, I can assure you.
